September 2024Incredible experience. Food is exceptional, especially the tandoori aged venison. The chef came out to meet and chat to us as well. Wine pairings and cocktails were also delicious. Gaurav, our waiter, was the best! Highly highly recommend!

December 2024The food was delicious and homely, with a good balance of flavours. We can't eat very spicy food and the dishes we ordered and were told as "median spicy" were perfectly fine. Cocktails were somewhat a bit underwhelming. Service felt standard, and when we were leaving we said thanks to several staff we walked past but were ignored (they seemed to be busy with things). The interior was quite old-school. One star off as we expected a bit more from a one-star restaurant in terms of an all-around experience.
